Is PayID available at all Australian online casinos?

Not yet, but adoption is growing rapidly. The majority of offshore online casinos that cater specifically to Aussie players now support PayID as a primary banking method.

Are there any fees for using PayID to deposit or withdraw?

In the vast majority of cases, no. PayID transfers over the NPP are fee-free from the bank's perspective.

How long do PayID withdrawals actually take?

The NPP side of a PayID withdrawal is essentially instant — once the casino initiates the transfer, the funds arrive in your bank account within seconds to a few minutes.

Can I use PayID for pokies on my mobile phone?

Absolutely — and in many ways the mobile experience is even smoother than desktop.

What happens if my PayID deposit does not arrive in my casino account?

This is rare, but it does happen occasionally. If your balance has not updated within five minutes, contact live chat with your transfer confirmation screenshot.

Do PayID deposits count toward wagering requirements for bonuses?

At the vast majority of Australian-focused online casinos that offer PayID bonuses, yes — PayID deposits count fully toward triggering and clearing wagering requirements.

Responsible Gaming

Gaming Should Be Entertainment

At Thousand Byte Days, we believe that online pokies and casino gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. If you find yourself gambling to make money or recover losses, it may be time to seek support.

Please gamble responsibly and within your means. Set limits, take breaks, and remember that the house always has an edge.

Age Verification

In Australia, you must be at least 18 years of age or the legal gambling age in your state or territory to use our services. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all applicable Australian gambling laws.

If you are under the legal age, please do not proceed. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use filtering software to prevent access to gambling websites.

If you identify with any of these signs, help is available.

Self-Help Tools and Controls

Most reputable online casinos and pokies sites offer responsible gaming tools to help you stay in control:

Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, monthly)
Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you're willing to lose within a specified time period
Betting Limits: Restrict the amount you can wager on individual games
Reality Checks: Receive regular pop-up reminders of how long you've been playing and how much you've spent
Time-Out: Take a break from gambling for a set period (hours, days, or weeks) while keeping your account active
Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently close your account to prevent access to gambling services

We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of your responsible gaming strategy.
